to promote creativity and innovation. In keeping with
contemporary trends in this field, the course will fur- ther present techniques for the assessment of hu- man capital and the calculation of its contribution to the asset base of organizations. A necessary com- ponent of this course will be the requirement to dem- onstrate the practical relevance of these strategies through the application of the principles developed to live business situations.
Knowledge Management
Many researchers consider knowledge to be the key resource for today’s organization. The major chal- lenge for organizations, however, lies in their ca- pabilities to move knowledge from the tacit dimen- sion (within the employee) to the explicit dimension
where it can be codified and made available to the
wider organization community. Within this context, the course will examine the concept of knowledge in both the tacit and explicit dimensions and explore the process by which knowledge can be created,
processed, stored, shared, and finally, used to cre-
ate new knowledge that can add significant value for
the organization.
The course will also examine the evolution of knowl- edge management from a technology-based appli- cation to the emerging trends marked by the increas- ingly use of the term, ”intellectual capital” to highlight the importance of human capital, intellectual assets, and structural capital.
Cross-cultural Management
This course will explore the cultural issues involved in managing and trading across boundaries. It will also examine issues in ethics, the corporate responsibil- ity of transnational corporations, and communica- tions across borders and cultures. A key component of the course will be a requirement to examine the initiatives of organizations based in the Caribbean that have pursued global expansion strategies.

Course Description
Learning Strategies
This course provides a brief overview of the requirements and challenges involved in pursuing graduate studies. It equips students with an understanding of learning principles, strategies and styles which should be
used to derive maximum benefit from the diverse teaching strategies and styles to which they will be exposed.
Emphasis will be placed on integrating learning styles with methods usually employed at the graduate level. Computer Business Applications
All students in the EMBA and MBA programmes are expected to make considerable use of computers during their programme of study. It is for this reason that the possession of a laptop is considered essential for partici- pation in and out of class. This course will provide students with an introduction to the major software applica- tions that are used in business and which they will be expected to use during the programme. Included will be applications such as Excel, PowerPoint and Word. Students will also be exposed to guidelines on document preparation and use of Internet sources in research.

This course deals with some of the basic mathematical problems that students have and minimizes the fear of doing mathematics. It deals with typical mathematical shortcomings of MBA students and re-orients them to various mathematical concepts related to the disciplines they will cover in the MBA programme.
